Pro Forma Financial and Sustainability Planning

The contract calls for the development of long-term financial models and sustainability plans to secure the ongoing viability of a broadband network beyond the expiration of any initial grant funding. The work requires creating robust forecasting tools that account for operational costs, revenue streams, infrastructure maintenance, and potential funding gaps to ensure the network remains functional and accessible over time. This effort is critical to transforming a federally supported initiative into a self-sustaining service that can operate independently in the long run. The solicitation is categorized as a subcontract under NAICS code 541611, which pertains to management consulting services, indicating the focus is on strategic planning and financial advisory expertise rather than direct network construction or installation. The opportunity was posted on June 17, 2026, with a response deadline set for September 17, 2026, and is issued by the Department of Commerce under the agency name Doc Nist Era. The place of performance and point of contact details are not specified, suggesting that work may be performed remotely or at the contractor’s location, with flexibility in execution so long as the deliverables meet the required standards for financial modeling and sustainability planning.
